= Consider the following principal agent problem with adverse selection. A firm faces a worker who may be one of two types, with equal probabilities. The firm's profits from a type i worker are given by Ti ei Si, i 1, 2, where e; is the effort supplied by a type i worker and s; is the payment to a type i worker. The cost function of the more productive worker (type 1) is given by c₁ = el and the cost function of the less productive worker (type 2) is given by c₂ = 2e2. The utility function of a worker of type i is given by: ui = si' c; and his opportunity cost utility is u = 0. Find the solution to the firm's problem (assuming that effort is observable and contractible). 1/2 =
